Product Description

Developed to guide your child gently through the earliest stages of reading, Bob Books were created to facilitate that ah-ha moment when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency, repetition and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her way down the path of reading. Each level addresses a stage in reading development; this carefully crafted, simple, and progressive approach to learning assures children success and confidence from their very earliest reading experience. New sounds are added gradually, while short vowels and three-letter words in simple sentences make Bob Books Set 1 a fun learn-to-read experience.

Bob Books Set 1: Beginning Readers

Teach a child letter sounds with Bob Books Set 1! With four letters in the first story, children can read a whole book. Consistent new sounds are added gradually, until young readers have read books with all letters of the alphabet (except Q). Short vowels and three-letter words in simple sentences make Bob Books Set 1 a fun confidence builder. With little books, come big success. (TM)

I bought the Bob books for our grandson the summer before he entered kindergarten. He knew his letters and sounds and was eager to learn to read. He was so excited after being able to actually read a "whole" book by himself, it spurred him on to further success. You could just watch the light bulb of understanding go on. The stories are short and simple and build one upon the other. We had so much fun this summer laughing at the silly pictures and stories as he learned to read.

My kindergartener loved these simple books. The words are repetitive, successive and simple. The artwork is VERY basic and in my opinion a little lacking, but I was impressed at how quickly she began to read on her own. Within a few short days she had mastered almost the whole box. There are 12 books in the set and they feel such a sense of accomplishment when they can read all of them on their own!
